UNIFIRST CORP (UNF) Form 8-K — Oct 21, 2026
UniFirst reported Q4 FY2026 revenue of $645.0 million, up 5.0%, with organic growth of 4.6% in its core Uniform & Facility Services segment and improving customer retention. Diluted EPS fell to $1.90 from $2.23 as operating margin compressed to 6.5%, driven largely by $14.4 million in Cintas merger-related transaction costs. On the merger front, both companies have substantially complied with the FTC's Second Request and completed responses to the Canadian Competition Bureau's SIR, and entered a timing agreement with the FTC not to close before December 11, 2026. The deal is still expected to close before the end of calendar year 2026.
